Hello,

I recently installed Edgy Knot3 in my computer and for some reason i
can not make the SSH service to respond. I have my computer connected
directly to the internet thru the modem so i have not port fowarding
to do. I can restart the server and no problems are reported. I have
not done any changes to the configuration file and i also configured
the firewall (Firestarter) to allow anyone to access this port from
the outside. The only thing i made different on this installation of
edgy was that i did not create a Swap partition. I think I have plenty
of memory (2GB) on my system. I dont think i t matters!

First thing to do is to type 'netstat -l -t' in a terminal and see if
anything is listening on port 22.

Second thing to do is have a look in the /var/log/syslog after
attempting to connect and see if that reports any problems.

Third thing to do is to connect with about three -v options on the ssh
command. You will get lots of information, some of which may give you a
clue as to what is happening.

Post output to this list if the answer is not obvious.

Regards,
Tony.
